Celebrations galore.

As we use the pandemic shutdown to continue our look back through the 23 million photos to run on Coupeville Sports, we arrive in the year 2016.

A mix of action, reaction, and, yes, celebrations galore, these are the 20 pics which I think best capture the year that was.

At this point, we were really clickin’.

By the time we hit 2015, the fourth year of Coupeville Sports, my writing was supplemented by a number of people snapping photos, foremost among them being John Fisken.

During the COVID-19 shutdown, I’ve been going back through the many, many pics to grace these pages, and today present the 20 glossy images which, at this moment at least, stand the tallest in my memory from that year.

Make the heavens rumble

An Air Force Globemaster III plane flies over Coupeville Friday. (Photos by JohnsPhotos.net)

Onward and upward.

A pair of Growlers from NAS Whidbey were out in front of the cargo planes.

You can feel the Earth rumble just by looking at the photo.

The skies above Coupeville were filled with an extra-loud roar Friday.

Two United States Air Force C-17 Globemaster III cargo aircraft from the 62nd Airlift Wing at Joint Base Lewis-McChord joined the usual EA-18 Growlers in our airspace.

The bigger planes rumbled over the WhidbeyHealth Medical Center in a pre-planned salute to health care workers who continue to stand tall during the COVID-19 pandemic.

One shot to win the Masters, and save the world. Or at least liven up the day.

John Fisken has been let out of the house.

The intrepid photographer is back to his wandering ways, and Thursday his travels took him to the Whidbey Golf Club in Oak Harbor.

While there he captured some pics of duffers taking advantage of sunny weather, and slightly-relaxed pandemic restrictions.

The photos keep droppin’ and poppin’.

During the slowdown created by the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve taken some time to wander back through some of the 20 billion pics which have graced Coupeville Sports.

Today we stroll into 2014, the third year of the blog, and come away with what you see here – the snaps which I think best capture the feel of that year.
